About the Book: 

Tonight. Tonight is all that matters. Every thing else, all this, neon lights and the smell of disinfectant and dead chickens, don’t let it get to you, Danny. Baked beans, not a problem. On the shelf they go. Super Danny. By day, a quiet supermarket shelf stacker, but by night... Well. It didn’t quite work out the way I’d planned. My first attempt at animal liberation was a disaster. It was all going so well until... Well, I guess you’ll find out. But after that night, everything started to spiral out of control. Everyone at work was out to get me for something or other. The woman I loved was becoming more extreme by the day. My ratio of animals saved versus animals killed was changing rapidly. And not in the direction I wanted it to. Super Danny? Not quite. Not even close. It’s treble or nothing time, and next week, the circus is coming to town.

Reviews: 

An entertaining romp that challenges your preconceptions of a world often steeped in mystery. JONATHON WHITELAW, The Sun

RAYMOND FRIEL is a Scottish screenwriter based in Glasgow. He has two feature film credits: The Calcium Kid starring Orlando Bloom and Botched with Stephen Dorff. Both of these films were released in cinemas in the UK and distributed worldwide.

Friel has worked on a variety of other film and television projects with the UK Film Council, Scottish Screen, Creative Scotland, Shine Entertainment, Channel 4 and the BBC.

His play, Moriarty Is Crying, won the Willy Russell Award for New Writing and was performed at the Edinburgh Festival and the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow.
